TL;DR: The Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) has been used to measure the topography, surface roughness, and 1.064-μm reflectivity of Mars and the heights of volatile and dust clouds as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Elevations measured by the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter have yielded a high-accuracy global map of the topography of Mars, which includes the low northern hemisphere, the Tharsis province, and the Hellas impact basin.
The Development of the Joint NASA GSFC and the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) Geopotential Model EGM96

TL;DR: The Earth Gravitational Model 1996 (EGM96) as discussed by the authors was developed by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA), and The Ohio State University (OSU) to develop an improved spherical harmonic model of the Earth's gravitational potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution gravity data obtained from the dual Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) spacecraft show that the bulk density of the Moon's highlands crust is 2550 kilograms per cubic meter, substantially lower than generally assumed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Internal Structure and Early Thermal Evolution of Mars from Mars Global Surveyor Topography and Gravity
Maria T. Zuber,Maria T. Zuber,Sean C. Solomon,Roger J. Phillips,David E. Smith,G. Leonard Tyler,Oded Aharonson,Georges Balmino,W. Bruce Banerdt,James W. Head,Catherine L. Johnson,Frank G. Lemoine,Patrick J. McGovern,Gregory A. Neumann,Gregory A. Neumann,David D. Rowlands,Shijie Zhong +16 more
TL;DR: The strength of the lithosphere beneath the ancient southern highlands suggests that the northern hemisphere was a locus of high heat flow early in martian history and the thickness of the elastic lithosphere increases with time of loading in the northern plains and Tharsis.
